George Joseph of Lockport will be a featured guest on Thursday afternoon's Dr. Oz show.

The TV program, which is broadcast daily on NBC, can be seen locally at 2 p.m.

Joseph, 48, is a recovered addict who currently helps others fight their problems with drugs and alcohol through his work as the CEO of the Right Step and Spirit Lodge.

The Houston-based provider of alcohol and drug rehab services offers an array of services geared toward those struggling with addiction.

Joseph's segment features him working alongside an interventionist to get a 20-year-old from New Mexico the proper assistance he needs.

"I'm not on very long, but the first time he (the 20-year-old) meets me is on stage with Dr. Oz and Brad Lam (interventionist)," Joseph said. "He's currently being treated at our location in Houston and seems to be doing pretty good."

Joseph said since the filming of the show he's been asked to write an experts blog for Dr. Oz's website, www.doctoroz.com.
